I’d give him Plus 2 extra.Good news on Madge.

Mitchell joined the Rabbitohs this year on a reported $600,000 and the club has the option in its favour for a second year at $800,000.
It all comes down to not playing in finals.Didn't we offer this guy $900k+ a season to play for us. Shows how attractive we are as a club, when players will take $400k pay cut to play elsewhere.

Why sign with us when you can go to the rabbits, be a good chance of playing finals, boost his profile by playing in big games and make up the difference with endorsements.
I'm not saying he's a star, but for his current money is good value, low risk/highet reward. He has his flaws: lack of speed over 40m, one on one last line defense tackling, kick return metres gained.
Not sold on Allan. To me seems like the type of player with a bit of talent but fairly limited that was able to have a good period in a good team. But once teams start to understand how he plays he would be shut down and exploited pretty quickly.
If I was the tigers I would see if he was interested but I wouldn’t be offering anymore that around 250k per season, if someone else wants to pay more then so be it.
Don't forget he walked out on Easts for a reported $800k / yr.Didn't we offer this guy $900k+ a season to play for us. Shows how attractive we are as a club, when players will take $400k pay cut to play elsewhere.
Btw, Corey Allan looks middling at best to me. Robert Jennings looked a gun in that Souths backline, and we know how he went.
Mansour now told to look elsewhere for 2021. Him and Nofo on the wings would certainly provide good starts to our sets. Perhaps a contingency if we miss JAC?
It’s surprising Fittler is behaving like he is. He would frown on that behaviour from his team.He may think he needs to sound more aggressive to appease the masses and he now has the confidence ....maybe we see who he really is if he wins again, otherwise he can go back to being humbleFittler is just annoyed that the Tigers didn't keep Paps & JAC in Sydney because then it would have been easier for the Rorters to poach them.

As I said, not in the sense of a Walker, or Keary or Thurston, but a couple of the tries we scored we his doing, one I think against the Rorters when he got into a gap on the right side, then put in a banana kick that landed in goal for one of the chasers coming through; another on a backline left shift where he double pumped and created space for his outside man, which led to a try in the corner; then the Penrith game where he scored one in the corner off a little kick out of nothing.

On our boards, he had a mixed reaction, some really really liked him, a few hated him - for the flaws mentioned.
Are you his manager nowPeople forget he’s still very young by nrl standards at 22. He’s got at least another 7 years of physical incline, increased speed and skill procurement.
He can play at numerous positions in a utility role which takes away from injury pressures.
Almost every side is experiencing injuries and we live in the age of youth over plod.
And to break into the elite bunnies finals side is very impressive when for awhile there, they had genuine gf appearance claims at least.
My recollection is that he arrived at the bunnies as an afterthought in some ways, a gap filler, Bennet saw something in him and it paid massive dividends for his discount price. All sides need their foot soldiers. He’s better than stock for sure.
If he can get dougie into the halves more easily then I think he’s worth his weight in gold.
As for Latrell, well he’s spent most of the year injured or shooting etc. Time is ticking, his claims of immortality are evaporating.

Corey Allen in Tigers kit? Let’s hope so!

Look fellas, don't feel bad, he was always destined to be a Rabbitoh, that's what his father wanted, and GI getting into his ear helped.Don't forget he walked out on Easts for a reported $800k / yr.
I agree with most almost all of this except the last bit. C'mon mate, you know he wasn't injured "most of the season". It happened in the Parramatta game, Rd 16. It was his first time injured.People forget he’s still very young by nrl standards at 22. He’s got at least another 7 years of physical incline, increased speed and skill procurement.

Don’t inflate him too much otherwise we can’t afford him.

That cool, appreciated.We might have to agree to disagree on Latrell.
I’m happy to kick off on him, but you’re a guest and I don’t want to make a bad impression.
Our mods expect us to behave unless they are actually in on the beating themselves, even then, they go first, take their badges off and declare that rank is not an issue!
